While monitoring humpback whale activity in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez, researchers came across a young humpback whale caught in fishnet. After hours of effort to release the whale, the last strands of net were finally cut.
Michael Fishbach narrates this encounter with a humpback whale entangled in a fishing net. Gershon Cohen and he have founded The Great Whale Conservancy to help and protect whales.
Watch the response from the whale upon being released from the net, and wonder at the connection between all creatures sharing our earth.
